Yeah I'm planning to weld the subframe connectors to the sub. I'm wondering what kind of room I might have to look at some cross bracing. I am also running solid body mounts to take that out of the equation. I've see some down tubes from the firewall to the frame, but I wasn't quite sure what/how that provided added support?
